Here are some articles published about us by some
serious journalists who have been on our boats.
The
journalists don't usually pay for their holidays, but
otherwise they get exactly the same service,
opportunities and - we hope - fun as any other
customers.
Drifters is a group of hire fleets who share a commitment to quality, and a belief in promoting canal holidays to the widest possible audience.
